Before reporting any suspected open proxies here, please remember that not all vandals are open proxies and vandals should not get an automatic check here; remember that it takes the volunteers here about 5-10 minutes to give a request a thorough check. The bot that clerks this page can sometimes detect if an IP is an open proxy; however, it cannot confirm that an IP is not an open proxy.

MetaProject on open proxies (en-Wikipedia chapter)

If you've been blocked as an open proxy, please see: Help:blocked. The multiwiki MetaProject on open proxies seeks to identify, verify and block open proxies and anonymity network exit nodes. To prevent abuse or vandalism, only proxy checks by verified users will be accepted. All users are welcome to discuss on the talk page, report possible proxies, or request that a blocked IP be rescanned.

WikiProject Council would like to inform all Wikipedians that it may be advantageous to: Join WikiProjects of your field of knowledge or interest. This will provide you with a forum in which to exchange opinions, identify common goals with respect to articles under that topic, and coordinate opportunities to share your knowledge. You may also join Maintenance WikiProjects, where the focus is on the organization and functioning of Wikipedia in general. Beware of overloading yourself with WikiProject memberships, however. Keep involved in a handful of WikiProjects to which you can actively and assiduously contribute, and always be willing to help any WikiProject, when you see an opportunity, regardless of membership.
